Robert Morrow is a one-man hit squad for Ron Paul.
Politicians very rarely escape sex scandals unscathed.
Whether it’s tweeting pictures of their penis like Anthony Weiner or soliciting sex in a men’s room like Larry Craig, neither Democrats nor Republicans are impervious to salacious details about their personal lives.
And that’s precisely what Ron Paul supporter Robert Morrow is hoping will be the case with Rick Perry.
The Texas-based activist this week took out an ad in the weekly ‘Austin Chronicle’ to implore anyone, anywhere, to offer up details about their potential trysts with Perry.
“Have you ever had sex with Rick Perry?” asked the full-page ad, which continues, “Are you a stripper, an escort, or just a ‘young hottie’ impressed by an arrogant, entitled governor of Texas? Contact CASH, and we will help you publicize your direct dealings with a Christian-buzzwords-spouting, ‘family values’ hypocrite and fraud.”
CASH stands for Committee Against Sexual Hypocrisy, though Morrow tells ‘Salon’ that he is in fact the group’s only member.
Morrow’s ad isn’t based on any evidence or truth, but he’s hoping to get some dirt, including information pertaining to rumors that Perry is a closeted gay man. At the bottom of the ad there’s a plea, “Note to gay people: If you know the truth about Rick, please QUIT covering for him.”
As ‘Salon’s’ Justin Elliott points out, however, numerous papers and reporters have looked into those rumors, yet have found nothing, and Perry’s campaign team is fully prepared to debunk them should they arise during the 2012 White House race.
Still, Morrow’s confident his ploy will work: “I think it’s only a matter of time until somebody credible comes forward,” he said.
Morrow apparently has quite the history of operating a one-man smear campaign. In 2008, he recorded and sent out a robo call claiming Hillary Clinton had helped her husband cover up a rape.
No word on how Ron Paul feels about all of this rumor-mongering and muckraking, but something tells me the Congressman would rather let his own team run attacks than Morrow, whose tactics aren’t becoming of a candidate whose campaign is finally playing in the big leagues.
Here’s Morrow’s entire ad:

Yes, the headline of this is incredibly disingenuous. Ron Paul has no control over how people who advocate his politics behave, to associate Ron Paul with this individual is a borderline dirty trick whether he advocates Ron Paul or not. Writer might just as well have headlined this article “Ron Paul’s Camp Digs Into Rick Perry’s Sex Life,” it’s not much of a stretch from “Ron Paul Supporter Goes After Perry’s Sex Life.”

I wish more people would put their money where their mouth is and do things like this.
I’d also like for them to expose the cirminals that work at the government NSA working on hiding the Governments War Crimes against American Citizens and the United States Population.

I have completed enough research on the internet and watched this man on TV and he has baggage. So much so that there would not be enough room for it on a 747. There are three people who know the truth about his orientation, he, his wife and a third party and none of them are talking. There is just too much talk for there not to be any truth to it. Then there is the mouth problem, he just cannot keep it closed, he makes me think of Sarah on a short hair day (but with every hair in place), and clothes that cost enough to take us over the cliff in deficit spending. Then there is the brain problem. Left brain is not talking to right brain, but the mouth is still moving. It is also very possible there is blood on this man’s hands. And last of all he made a promise to God and Texas that he would complete his term in office except for health reasons before seeking higher office. It is all on you tube during a debate, so I guess he must be sick or breaking a promise he made to both God and man. Sad story, do your research, this man is not the man. All heat and no brains, hope no one gets shot at the debate. I recommend you check out Ron Paul.

Robert Morrow is among the nuttiest of the nutty among conspiracy theories. Those of us that have dealt with him don’t believe a single word to come out of his mouth. He also believes that LBJ, Richard Nixon, J.Edgar Hoover, and several Texas big oil men met the night before Kennedy was assassinated to plot his murder. Morrow has never made an allegation that had evidence to support it in his life.

Love how he’s calling out someone with absolutely no evidence against him. Just goes to show how stupid a lot of Ron Paul supporters are.

I guess serials killers vote for someone right? but it wouldn’t make the news unless it happened to be Ron Paul they supported.

Currently it looks like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
